Well they need to start with their own councilors, specifically Litz and babble butt Quen Be De Knudson.

i’m sure the city council or the school board could find a way to tax poor grammar. they’ve been pretty inventive, lately.

With 4 developer related people on the council, I know who wins this one. I did subdivision plan and profile development in Dallas (land surveyor). Developers there have strict criteria for design, specs, install, and inspections. They pay all paving and utilities construction. Here, the taxpayer foots much of the bill. In particular, Sioux Falls curb and gutter design is very poor. The biggest reason homes here are cheap is the infrastructure is so poor. Platting fees are minor, make them pay for all streets and utilities and demand that they build with stricter guidelines. Fear of making this retroactive for any development where platting fees were not paid should catch them up. It’s city right-of-way and tearing up some streets mandating a better design is a good way to get this going.

At least it isn’t costing you any taxdollars.
